A new star shape tetra-cationic surfactant was synthesized to evaluate as corrosion inhibitors for carbon steel in different acid media. This surfactant prepared by the reaction of tris(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl) O,O′,O′′-(nitrilotris(ethane-2,1-diyl)) trimaleate with 1-bromododecane and abbreviated as STCS. The chemical structure of the prepared surfactant was confirmed by FT-IR,  13 C and  1 HNMR and elemental analysis. Their aggregation behavior in watery solution was explored by surface tension measurements. The surface tension of water was decreased nearly to 35 mN m −1  when adding the surfactant. This result demonstrates that the surfactant shows remarkable surface activity, due to the effect of the head groups. Corrosion inhibition efficiency of the surfactant on the carbon steel surface in 1 M hydrochloride acid and 1 M H 2 SO 4  was evaluated using the electrochemical measurements. These measurements revealed that the synthesized surfactant act as effective mixed-type corrosion inhibitors. Their adsorption on a carbon steel surface was well described by the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Corrosion inhibition efficiency was enhanced with increasing the concentration of inhibitor and increasing the temperatures. The results of the quantum chemical calculations and the electrochemical measurements were in good agreement.
